-
Bill 'Billy' Williams : [singing] Out where they say, "Let us be gay," I'm going Hollywood. I'll ballyhoo greetings to you, I'm going Hollywood. Hey, while you sleepyheads are in that hay, I'll be dancing - I'm gonna be dancing with a sun-kissed baby. And I'm on my way - here's my beret, I'm going Hollywood!
-
Bill 'Billy' Williams : [singing] There may be blondes and brunettes that are hard to resist, You surpass them like a queen, You got those lips that were meant to be kissed, And you're over sweet sixteen, Oh, beautiful girl, you're a gorgeous creature, Beautiful girl, let me call the preacher, If I had you, you'd be my dreams come true, I forgot the words, So that will have to do, Beautiful girl.
-
Bill 'Billy' Williams , Sylvia Bruce : [singing] We'll make hay while the sun shines, We'll make love when it rains...

Bill 'Billy' Williams : Hey, come out of the clouds. Come down to earth. You're in Hollywood. Hollywood, California.
Sylvia Bruce : Yes, I know. This is Hollywood, isn't it. Everything a motion picture set. It's all artificial. The costumes, the scenery, the people.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : You're telling me.
Sylvia Bruce : Yes, I'm telling you. You're just part of this. You belong here. Possibly you're just as fake as the scenery.
Bill 'Billy' Williams : Oh, you think so, huh?
Sylvia Bruce : You're really no more sincere than those songs of yours about love and the moonlight or whatever else it is your crooning about. You're just a voice that croons about something that once was real. You're not real, Bill Williams. You're just a fake!
-
Bill 'Billy' Williams : [singing] For you were born to be kissed, I can't resist, You are temptation and I am yours, Here is my heart, Take it and say we'll never part, I'm just a slave, only a slave, To you, temptation.
